Letter with a halachic responsum, written "By the behest of the Rabbi the Gaon" signed "Yuda Semnitz". Alt-Ofen (Obuda, today part of Budapest, Hungary), Sivan 1827.
On the verso is the address: "From Oven Yashan to the Bátorkesz community - to... R. Aharon". The responsum was sent to R. Aharon Tauber Rabbi of Bátorkesz [author of Yad Aharon], written in the name of the Rabbi of Alt-Ofen - the Maharam Mintz who was an eminent posek in his generation.
R. Yehuda Semnitz served as Rabbi of Alistal and later relocated to Alt-Ofen to serve as dayan in the Beit Din of the Maharam Mintz, together with R. Moshe Abelish and R. Meir Yehuda Ostreich [both signed the approbation of Otzar HaChaim, Prague, 1832). Died on the 29th of Iyar 1843 (see photo of his tombstone in Alei Zikaron, Kinstlicher, Issue 6, p. 14).
